Health provider network adequacy provisions modifications

SF 3296 modifies Minnesota's health insurance network adequacy rules. It reduces the maximum travel time/distance for primary care, mental health, and general hospital services from 60 minutes/miles to 30 minutes/miles. The bill adds requirements for health insurers seeking waivers (including a $500 fee, data showing network gaps, and detailed plans to fix them), and allows telehealth access in counties with no local providers. It repeals the previous 60-minute/mile standard for specialty services. This directly affects health insurers and their networks across Minnesota.
